Then, I’ll walk you through each line of Arduino code so you can see exactly how we get distance measurements on the Serial Monitor, displaying distances in both centimeters and inches. Ultrasonic sensors are best known for obstacle-avoiding robots, but they’re also perfect for adding some high-tech magic to props, interactive exhibits, or any project where you want lights, sounds, or movements to respond to distance. In this Ultrasonic Sensor with Arduino Tutorial: ▶︎ How does an ultrasonic sensor work? ▶︎ How to calculate distance using the ultrasonic sensor's echo location abilities? ▶︎ How to wire an ultrasonic sensor to an Arduino Uno ▶︎ How to write Arduino code to get distance in cm and inches and display it on the serial monitor 🔗 Full Tutorial & Code: https://racheldebarros.com/arduino-projects/getting-started-with-hc-sr04-ultrasonic-sensors/ 🤖🎨 JOIN my Engineering Artists Discord Community ▶︎ https://racheldebarros.com/members • Live Workshops • Arduino Project Build & Code-Alongs • Community Build Sessions • Personalized Support 🛒 BUILD YOUR OWN Ultrasonic Sensor with Arduino Project: HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor: https://amzn.to/4fhJJAy Arduino Uno: https://amzn.to/3Ylh2fg Breadboard: https://amzn.to/3AaO3CR Jumper Wires: https://amzn.to/4e5CLNU 🎬 VIDEO CHAPTERS: Read Distance with an Ultrasonic Sensor and Arduino 0:00 Welcome 0:08 What is an Ultrasonic Sensor? 1:02 Parts of an Ultrasonic Sensor 1:32 Ultrasonic Sensor Pinout 1:56 How to Connect an Ultrasonic Sensor to Arduino 2:52 How does an Ultrasonic Sensor Work? 4:10 How to Calculate Distance using an Ultrasonic Sensor? 6:32 Arduino Code Line-by-Line Explanation 12:33 Reading Distance in CM and IN on the Serial Monitor 14:21 Get the Arduino Code 14:27 Join my Community for Live Events & More Code! 💬 Have any questions or want to share your own experiences, tips and advice about using an ultrasonic sensor with Arduino to read distance?

In this Arduino stepper motor tutorial, I'll guide you through the entire wiring process so that every connection is crystal clear - from how to connect your stepper motor to the right motor driver and then to an Arduino Uno as well as adding a potentiometer to the circuit. Then I'll break down the Arduino sketches, line-by-line, so you can truly understand the code and confidently modify them for your Arduino and stepper motor projects. 🛠🎨 JOIN my Engineering Artists Discord Community ▶︎ https://racheldebarros.com/members - Live Workshops - Arduino Project Build & Code-Alongs - Community Build Sessions - Personalized Support 🛒 BUILD YOUR OWN Stepper Motor with Arduino Project: Arduino Uno: https://amzn.to/4cJrYZu 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor: https://amzn.to/3YzO5Ok ULN2003 Motor Driver: https://amzn.to/4die8hI Potentiometer: https://amzn.to/3yyGxRw Female DC Power Jack Adapter: https://amzn.to/4dkYDoA 5V 2A DC Power Adapter: https://amzn.to/4dByVMI Breadboard: https://amzn.to/4dh5wXX Jumper Wires: https://amzn.to/3zw9bTg 🎬 VIDEO CHAPTERS: How to Control Speed & Direction of Stepper Motors using a Potentiometer and Arduino 0:00 Welcome 0:16 Potentiometer Pinout 0:47 How to Wire a Stepper Motor to an Arduino Uno 1:17 How to Power Stepper Motors with Arduino 2:01 How to Wire a Potentiometer to an Arduino Uno 2:33 Arduino Code: How to Control Stepper Motor Direction with a Potentiometer 7:43 Arduino Code: Using map() function for Precise Direction Control 10:01 Arduino Code: How to Control Stepper Motor Speed with a Potentiometer 12:01 Arduino Code: Improve Stepper Motor Speed Response 12:47 Troubleshooting 12:54 Join my Community for Live Events & More Code! 💬 Have any questions or want to share your own experiences, tips and advice about controlling stepper motors with Arduino?
